Have you been spending hours trying to pass a level? Or maybe you are completely addicted to a newly bought game. Do you have a question about a game or would like to share something else? In the Weekly Discussion Thread, you can do it all!
Please don’t forget to use the spoiler tag as soon as you start talking about a storyline.
I’ve been on via vcmi lately. Something about homm3 just draws me in. Have you played any of the others? I haven’t and have been wondering if they are similar or different but I have this weird fear that they will somehow ruin the special feeling I get from 3 and haven’t looked into it.
Homm3 was something I played the demo of as a kid then in later life I rediscovered it and binge it once and a while. I bought heroes 4 and 5, maybe even 6 and they just don’t feel the same. There’s tons of threads on which is best and I have yet to see homm3 come in anything but 1st lol.
I’m just running the gog version at the moment, decided I’d go through the regular campaign so I can play the official addon campaigns I had no idea about until a year ago. I have all of those as well.
Used vcmi to play it on my phone once. Does it do anything better than the gog config on PC?
It has a built in mod list and loader, includes ported unofficial addons, runs native on everything, and probably stuff I don’t know about. I used the gog versions for the assets but I haven’t actually used it as is.
